Performance of Native and Non-Native Speakers of English on Subtests of the Comprehensive English Language Test.

Aitken, Kenneth G.

T.E.S.L. Talk, v10 n4 p1-4 Fall 1978

The listening comprehension and structure subtests of the Comprehensive English Language Test (CELT) were administered to 211 secondary students from an urban center on Canada's west coast. The subtests appeared to be powerful enough to separate immigrant students of English (Second Language) from Canadian born bilinguals and monolinguals. (EJS)
